October 7, 2004 - Eidos Interactive and Climax Brighton have connected again (The Italian Job) to give you a high-octane, rent-raising, destruction derby-style game that's interestingly enough got a little bit of everything in it.

On the other hand, you've got as many as 15 others cars on the road with different methods of attaining first place.

May 13, 2004 - Don't call it Burnout. As easy as it would be to categorize Crash 'N' Burn as a rip-off of the Criterion franchise, the truth is, 'N' Burn has a very different attitude than the sensational Burnout series.

April 30, 2004 - Developer by Climax's Bright Studio, Crash 'n' Burn is expected to ship for Xbox and PS2 this fall. While more details will be revealed at E3, Eidos revealed some minor tidbits today to go along with a new trailer and a few new screens. Taking place in Miami, San Francisco, L.A., and New York, Crash 'n' Burn allows up to sixteen racers to tear up the track online for both PS2 and Xbox. Customizing cars goes beyond upgrading the engine as players will be able to custom-paint their vehicles to make them as personalized as possible. While CnB appears to be a relatively straight-up racer, where the first across the finish line wins, expect full collision detection and plenty of smash and bash driving.
